FEEDBACK ON THE COMPLETE COURSE TO TRADING FINANCIAL MARKETS

Picture
Pino D. ​
"Adam is a teacher first and foremost, and it shows in his courses as he takes the time to make sure you fully understand his material. From learning technical strategies to taming the psychological side that comes with ever-changing markets, his unique approach to trading really introduces you to a new experience in which very few people know of. Even when you are done your course, you have access to a support community. If you are serious about trading, Online Finance Academy is the place."

J. Lenar ​
“When I decided to learn about the stock market, I was very nervous. Adam helped me make sense of it all. It was hard  to make this change in my career considering its risks. Adam was always there to answer questions and talk me through the anxiety when I thought I made a wrong move, or simply when I just wasn't getting it. He is very dependable and I would recommend him to anyone wanting to learn more about the market. He is very knowledgeable and really puts his years of experience to good use. I am more confident as time goes by and feel a sense comfort knowing Adam has taught me well.”

"Adam Jagiellowicz was part of my introduction in finance. Learning from him gave me a start to develop an independent and professional mindset towards capital markets. His teachings provided guidance on the abilities one should hone as a trader, from a quantitative and fundamental perspective. Most importantly, he ingrained in me early on the importance of position sizing, market timing, and risk management" 

FEEDBACK ON MARK SHLAES – SPREAD TRADING

Picture
Marko S.
"It is rare to come across someone with a wealth of experience in trading like Mark. I had a pleasure working for him for 7 years when I was just starting out in the business at HTG Capital in New York. Mark has a great ability to transfer his knowledge to traders and explain the concepts clearly and concisely. What made him stand out as a manager is his ability to know exactly when to push traders and to be firm and strict, and when to hold their hands and lend his support. I feel very fortunate to have had Mark as my mentor."

FEEDBACK ON SHAUN DOWNEY – SYSTEMIC TRADING

Picture
Andy O'Kelly, Cabrera Partners
"I have had the pleasure of knowing Shaun for over twelve years and I always consider myself exceptionally lucky that he is the one that taught me how to trade using his Technical Analysis techniques. His energy and understanding of how markets operate will be quite unlike anything you will have experienced and I assure you that any conversation will leave a long-lasting impression. While Shaun operates an elegant simplicity in his work you will quickly come to realize just how much he has personally advanced this field with little to no recognition. The one resounding lesson I have come away with is that Shaun is unique in his approach and provides market insight like no other. Shaun's work ethic, character and lifelong dedication to his work make him the diamond in a very overpopulated rough. I am proud to call him my friend and I strongly encourage you to explore his work.  I promise that you will not look back and it will seem like someone has just flicked the lights witch for you."

​CEO, Empire Equity Group P/L
“It’s great to find a system that utilises an approach that isn’t just a rehash of different methods that almost every other trader tries to use.  The use of time frames as a foundation for trades is cutting edge. A great system and one I’m pleased to endorse!”

Picture
Mark Voller, Marylebone Partner
“I would highly recommend it as an invaluable trading tool for expert investors, let alone the money it’s likely to save beginners.”
